Two Kinds of Covenants.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

Hi Friends,
There are two places in the KJV Bible where it says:  "God cannot lie."   --Titus 1: 2, is one of them.   
    One other point I want to make today is,   If smart, reasonable, people understand that they WILL GO TO HEAVEN SOME DAY,  as promised by God's only begotten Son,  Jesus Christ,  wouldn't it make sense to check out the ONLY reliable source of solid Information, the KJV Bible ? ? ?   For instance,  you can gain a firm grip on the full life and death of Jesus,  by reading  the Gospel:  Matthew, Mark, Luke,  John, and the book of Romans.  That might take the average man or woman about one week to read....  or if you are fast like I am [praise the Lord],  you could do it in one or two days---or maybe 4-5 hours !   I had the great privilege of studying in college [where they teach people "how to find things, and where to look for answers, etc.], and also my study and involvement in Financial Securities, with PFS Investments, etc --- when I took a radical departure from my welding occupation for a while, to try something new and live a dream.   Sorry to say, some of that stuff is very "dry," boring, subject matter, and Contracts, too.   But you are assured after that --- that no one will trick you with a contract or buying any sort of  "Whole Life Insurance,"  and what a thieving racket and rip off of the common man ! !   Contact me to learn what 'TYPLE' of Life Insurance to buy --- and invest the rest.  Buy Term Insurance !!   But the short article below talks about something super SIMPLE, and God likes to keep things simple, for humans.   So no person can say they 'don't understand it.'  

Also,  remember that the Law Code that God gave to Moses and the Israelites was MORE than just 10 Commandments...  but over 300 important rules and commandments, many of which carried the Death Penalty!   All those commandments were done away with in the Christian Era,  with two simple laws.   Do you know them?  
      Friends,   IF you have a computer -- you are rich and blessed !  It is a valuable tool where you can find out almost anything in the world !!   Including the wisdom of God's Word, the bible.   Check out:  "e-sword"   and LEARN.
      So, here is the recap and end of this post.   If you claim to be a "Christian" --- that means:   'a follower or imitator of Christ',  should you not know all about Him ?   You can even get the entire KJV  BIBLE on AUDIO tapes, and CD's as spoken by a very dramatic English speaking, educated gentleman, with perfect diction and pronunciation !   I own a set of those audio version  of the bible.  

Holy Cow !   The 1st of December is soon coming up, and that means,  PAY THE BILLS!   I love to pay off a bill completely, and that frees up another $500 or so, per month.   I am married to a lovely girl, with so many skills and talents,  but for  some reason, I failed to teach her our financial situation.  Ooops!   But we live in a place that has it's own different language, called:   "U-PPER."  And really, it's  about:  2 + 2= 4  !!   You can't squeeze blood out of a rock.   If people are having hard times [ and I PROMISE that things in the world and the USA will get much  worse in the near future !!],  why spend so much money that you don't have ???  Just send relatives and family the TRUTH of this year's '3rd world chicken' for dinner excuse and wish them well.   Don't go beyond your means and get is worse debt than you are today !!   And why SPOIL your kids, when you just cannot afford it this year ??    Christmas is NOT about giving presents that you cannot afford.   Anyway,  are your kids and relatives really, practicing Christians ?   Do they obey Christ, study the bible and help share the Gospel ???  Ha!  We all know the answer to that--- Duh.   Time to be realistic and truthful for a while/ change.   
     I remember going thru a few Christmases when I was young that were hard on my parents for one reason or another, like when the family car broke down one year and all the money had to go for auto repair, etc.   And the 2 years I spent in Vietnam,  with the hot air temps., and I lived thru it, and being homeless for a short time, too, in the cold, dangerous city of Milwaukee, in a bad neighborhood.   Americans are so Materialistic and Selfish !!   Most are hypocrites and fakes looking for a  reason to get drunk or immoral.   And even the real Christian churches are 'sleeping at the switch' while allowing terrible leaders to side step the U.S. Constitution and Laws of the Land....  trying to turn our country into a Sharia, Moslem land.    Well,  guys and gals,  IMHO,  this next year will bite most everyone who is not working for the corrupt Gov't...  sorry. 

Winter is Here, right now, where we live, with snow on the ground and low air temps.
      I also want to thank the few people who come over to help clean the house and feed that 'birds' that my pretty wife has raised,  especially one nice lady, named Annie.  Thank You, and Sue, too.

Warm Regards,
Tommy


This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
To understand God's plan for the world, it is vital to understand what, at first, may seem like a dry subject - covenants. In the Bible, God makes two kinds of covenants with human beings - conditional and unconditional. A conditional covenant is predicated on God saying to man, "If you will." An unconditional covenant is predicated on God saying to man, "I will."

Conditional covenants are like the contracts we humans make among ourselves. "If you give me a certain amount of money, then I will give you a car." God makes conditional covenants, too. He made one with Israel through Moses. In Exodus 19, He said, "If you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation."

Did they obey His voice and keep His covenant? No. God offered them a deal, but they didn't fulfill their part of the bargain. Does God then have to fulfill His part? No. A conditional covenant means, "If you do this, then I'll do that."

But God also made unconditional covenants. In an unconditional covenant, God simply says, "I will." Period. Once such a covenant goes into effect, there are no conditions that have to be fulfilled by human beings.

God's covenant with Abraham - what theologians call "The Abrahamic Covenant" - is an unconditional covenant. Through the years God reiterates and expands it, but He never changes the unconditional nature of it. Indeed, He cannot change it or He would be a liar and the Bible says in Titus 1:2 and elsewhere, "God... cannot lie."

To add other conditions later would be like moving the goal posts just as the football team is about to score a touchdown. It wouldn't be honest. God is not tricky. He's trustworthy. Once the covenant went into effect, nothing could change it. Later, God would reiterate the covenant and expand on it, but He never changed the nature of it, nor did He add conditions to it.

Those who claim He did, have a fundamental problem. They're saying that God lied.

Psalm 105 says, "He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations, The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac. And then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, Saying, 'To you will I give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance.'"

This verse calls it a "covenant forever" and "an everlasting covenant." If it depended on frail human beings, the Word of God could not call it "everlasting" because somewhere along the line human beings fail, as Israel proved again and again.

The Abrahamic Covenant is one of the great dividing lines of scripture. Disbelieving it won't change God's Word, but it will change a person in profound ways. Among other things, he won't understand what's going on in the world.

Because this is an unconditional covenant, it cannot end. It remains in effect today and forever. That makes it fundamental to Bible prophecy. Whatever else happens, you can bet the farm that God will keep His covenant with Abraham.

So if you want to look into the future, or have a better understanding of the present, look at the things God promised to Abraham. He expressed them in a series of direct and implied "I will" statements. "I will make you a great nation. I will bless you. I will make your name great. I will make you a blessing. I will bless those who bless you. I will curse those who curse you. Through you, I will bless all the families of the earth."

Romans 11:1 succinctly asks and answers the most pertinent point. "Has God cast away His people? Certainly not!" That's just one of many New Testament passages refuting "replacement theology" and affirming that God's covenant with Abraham is still in effect.

Not only does this covenant help us understand what's happening in the Middle East right now, it is foundational to the central meaning of all the Bible's teaching - from the identity and purpose of Jesus, to "salvation by faith alone," to Christ's coming to set up a literal thousand year kingdom on earth, to Christ's secretly snatching up all believers to heaven before the great Tribulation begins.

Tune in this week as I discuss "The Covenant."

"president's" Thanksgiving address is offensive

The occupant of the Oval Office compared the Syrian "refugees" to the Pilgrims on the Mayflower in his Thanksgiving address to America. This is offensive. The Pilgrims came to this land because they were being persecuted by the Church of England for their religious beliefs. The Syrians are being resettled in America because their native country is in a Muslim civil war between a secular Shiite regime and Sunni terrorists. Nearly half the Pilgrims died the first winter as they exercised freedom of religion on the North American continent. To the so-called "refugees," freedom of religion is Americans submitting to and welcoming their death cult, where members die trying to kill innocent civilians.

In a not-so-veiled attempt to use Thanksgiving as a way to advance his Islamic colonization program in America, the "president" said in his weekly address, "Nearly four centuries after the Mayflower set sail, the world is still full of pilgrims -- men and women who want nothing more than the chance for a safer, better future for themselves and their families." He said, "And I've been touched by the generosity of the Americans who've written me letters and emails in recent weeks, offering to open their homes to refugees fleeing the brutality of ISIL." The truth of the matter is that these "refugees" are not really refugees, they are being resettled. The true refugees are the Christians in Syria who have no place to go except to fight, submit or die. They are not being allowed entry into the US.

The NY Police Department employed state of the art security measures to protect Americans from these Islamists during the Thanksgiving Day parade. The Times reports that John J. Miller, NYPD's deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism says what the department has learned from attacks in Paris affirmed its approach to counterterrorism: "The first thing you see from Paris is these are people who included foreign fighters, who are hardened, trained and experienced. They weren't gathered up by Twitter chats, online, in Paris; they were sent there with a specific task and targets, likely from ISIS command and control, and it was a well-organized plot."

Alabama Republican Senator Jeff Sessions Tuesday released a list of 12 vetted "refugees" who were arrested this year because they promptly joined jihadi plots to attack the US. Yet the "president" lectures in his Thanksgiving address that: "Now, people should remember that no refugee can enter our borders until they undergo the highest security checks of anyone traveling to the United States." The "president's" Islamic colonization program for America is hand in glove with his foreign policy partner the Muslim Brotherhood's plan to take over North America. This alone is a threat to national security. To use the Mayflower Pilgrims to justify it is over the top offensive. Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Deception is the "president's" stock and trade.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Hi Friends,
   Yesterday  came and went uneventful,  just me and the dog, and simple food.   One close friend invited me over for dinner,  but I graciously declined.   I left some turkey legs in my truck because it was all that I could do to haul in the other stuff to clean the toilet, etc.,  but it had snowed and the meat  will be OK.   I am just tired today and will rest.  

Below is some good advice for all of us to know and implement.   Please share, if you see fit.

The Secret Life of Preppers
by Sean Gibbons, Friday, November 27, 2015




If you have ever seen an episode of Doomsday Preppers, you'll hear a lot of talking about planning for the future. There is, however, one problem these people are forgetting about: everyone in America knows where they live. If a crisis struck, these television stars would be bombarded with requests for help - or worse.
There are thousands of survival blogs out there, and many receive little or no traffic. But if a few government agents get interested in your "illegal" well system or "illegal" weaponry, you can expect an angry visit, and a possible trip to a really secure place like prison.
These are some of the reasons operational security is so important. The fewer neighbors and federal agents that know about your prepping work the better. A lot of the ways to accomplish this are self-explanatory, but so many people fail to keep this secret.

Reverse Alzheimer's By Playing This Game 3 Minutes A Day
Scientists at the Weinberg College of Chicago made a breakthrough discovery in the fight against Alzheimer’s….
They've discovered this special brain “workout” that reactivates the "memory pathways" inside the brain...
The scientists believe that this "3 minute a day" game also prevents Alzheimer's from ever occurring... and keeps your brain healthy for life.
And best of all, this method is something that ANYONE can use, regardless of their current mental condition.

Don't tell your neighbors or coworkers. Ego and pride are the main reason operational security goes out the window. While you should be proud about your stockpile of cans or independent source of energy, telling people will bring nothing but doom in a crisis. If you have enough food and water stored to allow you, your children, and your wife to survive 3 years, how long will you last if a few of your neighbors' families decide to join your group.

If you have kids, you would have already realized they say the darnedest things. These little people will recite everything you say like a parrot, and it's important to make sure they understand how to keep a secret. While secrets are impossible for small children, under 7 or 8 years old, an older child who understand consequences can be filled in on your prepping. We recommend keeping a younger child out of the loop, or everyone in his or her preschool will know all about your plans.
Intimate relationships are what make life worth living. And in those post coitus moments, after a night of passion, a man's lips tend to loosen up. While I'm sure your new friend is beautiful and things seem like a page cut from a fairy tale, most relationships don't end in marriage. All the secrets you confide in this person might soon come back and bite you when things go astray.
Of course, don't go on national TV and tell the world your location and prepping secrets. If you follow these steps, your operational security needs should be satisfied. Friends coming and pleading with you for refuge and supplies could be costly to you and your family's survival, but the chances of dangerous men coming to simply steal your supplies is very great. Be careful - and be quiet.
